The Super Smash Bros. of Television
(click for huge size)
Here’s something I’ve been working on for a few days now. I’m currently playing my advance copy of Playstation All Stars: Battle Royale, that systems version of Super Smash Bros.
It got me thinking, what if someone made a similar game with a bunch of the most badass characters from TV? Well, it might look something like SUPER BADASS TV BROS. which I’ve attempted to render above.
I don’t have the artistic talent to draw out an actual fight, but this is what I imagine the character select screen might look like. Below, I’ve posted each character and what I think would be their “Finisher” move that draws from their character. Check out the image above and the list below:
Gob Bluth
Finisher: The Sword of Destiny – Gob summons a magic sword to chop his opponent’s hands off.
Tyrion Lannister
Finisher: Vengeance of the Hill People – Tyrion rallies his allies to mob his opponent
River Tam
Finisher: Activation – River’s true nature is awakened and with eyes closed, puts a dozen bullets into her opponent.
Omar Little
Finisher: Omar Comin! – Omar barrels toward his opponent tearing them apart with repeated shotgun blasts.
Rick Grimes
Finisher: The Herd – Zombies ignore Rick and swarm his opponent
Walter White
Finisher: Biohazard – Walt throws on his hazmat suit while the arena floods with toxic meth fumes, killing his opponent.
Jesse Pinkman
Finisher: The Tub – Jesse throws his opponent in a tub where they dissolve in acid.
Sydney Bristow
Finisher: Hacked – Sydney reboots the game, and when it comes back on, you’ve lost.
Jax Teller
Finisher: Harley – Jax mounts his motorcycle and runs over his opponent repeatedly.
John Locke
Finisher: The Smoke Monster – Old Smokey comes to help Locke finish his opponent by grabbing them and bashing them into the ground.
Jack Bauer
Finisher: There’s No Time! – Jack fails to disarm a nuke buried beneath his opponent’s feet.
Dexter Morgan
Finisher: The Table – Dexter immobilizes his opponent in plastic wrap and impales their heart.
Dwight Schrute
Finisher: Which Bear is Best? – A group of black bears maul Dwight’s opponent.
Ron Swanson
Finisher: The Heart Attack – Ron summons various meats to rain down from the heavens on his opponent.
Al Swearengen
Finisher: Whoremaster – Al’s prostitutes come and seduce his opponent, right before he slits their throat with a broken bottle.
what a great idea… I imagine so well Dexter giving his opponent a spin (like Kabal in Mortal Kombat) to warp him quickly in plastic!
The concept is cool, but those moves are pretty lame. Kind of like something they would come up on Celebrity Deathmatch.
This is the best idea I’ve ever heard
No Richard Harrow?
I think Spartacus is missing from this roster.
This must happen
I would probably include Vic Mackey, and at least Tony Soprano.
Great as Tyrion is, almost anybody else would have been a better replacement. Also throw in Raylan Givens from Justified, Adama from Battlestar Galactica, and Buffy/ Angel.
Jack Bauer
Finisher: jack says ‘Damn It!!’ And everyone else takes a drink and passes out.
Arghhhh how did I forget Spartacus?
How did you forget Lancel Lannister?
Just kidding, I mean Jamie.
Also Daryl > Rick. Jus sayin.
Man I wish this was a real game!
